being normal after a low point Chud ODGvpIVi 11/04/25 (Tue) 15:48:40 №69827 [Quote]

recently i got out of being addicted to goonslop, which had also put me through a tough part of my life for a while.
i don't even struggle with any urge to go back to it, right now im only concerned with how long it'll be for me to feel 100% normal again.
sometimes i just feel off and unmotivated, it's like i still want to unsee and undo what happened even though i know i should put it behind me and that it's irrelevant now.
and yes i know this sounds very silly to worry about, but my brain's being a bitch over it in spite of that fact and i just find it depressing.
i guess an example of this that kind of agitates me is the rule34 garbage i saw, im not sure if that ruined any media for me or not but i do my best to separate that from what it was parodying.
though the idea of it possibly continuing to ruin anything for me in any specific way after all of that trauma just honestly sucks.
are there any recommendations for any of this? maybe im just being retarded and overly dramatic about it. idk

also anyone who derails this thread goons to 'p

Quit the internet for a while. Depending on your irl environment this can do wonders or you'll go nowhere. Having people around you who are into this shit is not good for your journey.

unfortunately my irl environment to do this isn't the best, but talking a few walks outside occasionally does help me
also thankfully i have nobody around me that's like that, im aware of how bad proud gooners are and i really hate how they brag about jerking off all of the time
thank you for the comment on this btw

So it isn't AS bad as it could've been. I don't know your environment but at worst it will take longer to forget all this stuff, thankfully you seem to be on a good path.
The best thing you can do now is fill your head with new memories and stop thinking that much about the past. Read a book, take a trip somewhere, go to a concert, hell, buy new games on Steam and play them. Try finding new things to do and explore. Forgetting something isn't really about forgetting, it's more about adding so much new things to remember that there is no more space for your gooner memories. I hope that you'll be successful in this journey and everything goes well.

You are quite welcome.

Again, you're welcome. Just be curious and try finding new stuff to look for. If all else fails you could find someone to talk to. Many people on here will say a priest is a good option, but you may find someone else you trust.

It's one of those things where the scar on a tree doesn't go away but the tree gets bigger over time, moving on is only the second hardest step because you've already managed to stop.

bumping after 3 days
im really sorry if it seems like im being faggy, but what should i think of if i get bothered by my gooner memories in the middle of the day?
i have been looking into trying other things to distract myself as recommended, but this is still somewhat of a problem for me
sadly i also haven't been able to talk to anyone about this recently too, so it makes it a little harder
>>69883
trvke, i can only hope to move on from it quicker

updating on this
i've been finding that it's good to just let those go by and they don't seem to be much of a problem if i wait it out
yeah it's obvious i should've done that in the first place, i know

not sure if ill get any more replies but i decided i'd leave this off anyway

honestly i wonder if i lost some sort of respect within myself, sometimes i find it easy to manage these negative thoughts and sometimes they get out of my control.
i really wanna get more motivated to start going again so i can move onto doing more things like i was recommended to do here, so i guess ill ask again and see if i can get a reply: are there any good suggestions for maintaining my mind and building back self respect?
im finding it a little hard to get on with my day at the moment, so any comments on this would be appreciated.
